Is McCarthy part of the Packers’ offensive woes?

If the Thanksgiving night loss to the Detroit Lions was sad, then the loss this past Sunday in Arizona was painful. It was, perhaps, the single worst loss of the Mike McCarthy/Aaron Rodgers era. While there is no arguing that the Arizona Cardinals are a championship caliber team, there is no doubt that the a

No one's been more critical of Mike than I am. However, my criticism lies in the fact that he has no concept of sports psychology. He doesn't have his teams ready and they don't show up for a full 60. A coach like Lombardi knows how to press those emotional buttons to motive players and keep them honest. Mike's more of an X's and O's type of guy.

But the criticisms here? Hard to say if he punishes arbitrarily. Yeah, benching Abby for one drop and letting Davante continue drop after drop seems a little bit arbitrary. But we don't know what's going on behind the scenes, and this franchise deals with everything in-house. They don't tolerate leaks. Andrew Brandt found that out the hard way.

A huge part of the woes. And mostly to do with X's and O's IMO. Mike is stubborn. His philosophy of taking advantage of matchup and not scheming guys open is what we are seeing. He expects the players to beat the guy across from them, and I can understand that. But he doesn't adjust when they are not, or they are the ones getting beat.

when was Abby benched? I remember seeing him on the field offensively after his drop.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

beast (4h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (9h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (9h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (9h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (14h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (16h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (18h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (18h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (18h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (19h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (20h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
